"My oldest wished for a baby sister on her 5th birthday there and we came home two weeks later to a positive pregnancy test after trying for a year," one person wrote.
Heartbreakingly, Walt Disney died in 1966, so he never got to see the park's opening day. But knowing that he created Disney World and Disneyland as a place for families to have fun together, it seems that people continuing to make those memories together there is exactly the legacy he wanted to carry forward.
What Disney World Was Like On Opening Day
According to Magic Guides, there were 10,422 guests on the first day of Disney World's operation, and while that was a huge number in 1971, today, All Ears estimates that about 57,000 people visit Magic Kingdom each day now, with well over 160,000 populating all four theme parks combined. That's a huge increase!
